Good news... Wasteland 2 beta is nearing completion (really). We feel confident of it's release within 2.5 weeks as we nail down blocker bugs and dial up messaging to make things clear. I'm really looking forward to the feedback of our beta backers. Thanks for all your patience.

Additionally, today's screen shot shows an interior view of the central complex which is heavy on atmosphere and flows much differently than the outside locale:

Good to finally have a date (kind of) for the Beta release. Looking forward to it.

Also, hey! New weapon reveal! Check out the M1-1 Carbine on the bottom left of the screen cap. Although at 6 damage with an AP cost of 6, it's quite possibly the least efficient weapon thus far revealed.

Between Christmas, comet ISON, my daughter's birthday... and now Wasteland 2's beta, December is going to be one exciting month! Thank you, Mr Fargo for making this sequel a reality.

My 25 year wait is almost over...

Hmm... I must have missed something. According to update 32 beta-test was supposed to be launched in October. I have to admit, I just read the updates and don't follow developers on twitter, tumblr etc. So if you've already posted the news about shifting the date from October to December it would be just nice to share the link here.

Heh, typos are always the last to go. Looking forward to the stacks and stacks of typo corrections from the beta.

Don't forget to also ask, "Does the game show this too clearly?"

Haha, I knew someone would pop in with this.

But yeah, it's a balance. I think we tend to err towards not telling you a lot and letting you explore and discover solutions, as well we should, but like...for example, I was talking with Brian earlier today about one pretty major location, which people do mention, but no one ever actually tells you where it is, or marks it on your map. That doesn't work so well. That's a typical "messaging" issue.
